Have you had a look in the access panel above the battery to see if the main fuse is also getting warm?

I'm going to check the car shortly for its daily starter test. Terminal connectors are on solidly with no movement. I'm fairly sure (from memory) that the terminals are both level with the battery posts. Will check the main fuse as suggested. Thanks, MJ.
